Diogenes held that education is a controlling
grace to the young, consolation to the old,
wealth to the poor, and an ornament to the rich.
Diogenes believed that the most beautiful thing
in the world is freedom of speech.

Alexander said that if he had not been Alexander,
he would have liked to have been Diogenes.

When Diogenes was sunning himself in the Craneum,
Alexander came and stood over him saying that he
could have anything he wished. Diogenes simply
asked Alexander to move out of his sunlight.

When Alexander asked him if he was not afraid of
him, Diogenes asked if Alexander was a good thing
or a bad thing. Alexander said he was a good
thing, and Diogenes asked, who is afraid of the
good?
12
Alexander said that he was Alexander the great
king, and he said that he was Diogenes the hound.
Asked why he was called that, Diogenes replied
that he fawned on those who gave him anything,
yelped at those who refused, and put his teeth
into rascals.
